Third Elder Qi’s joke was a clear sign to Long Feiye that Carefree City understood the situation at hand.

“Heheh, go back and ask your city lord for your lordship’s sake. See if he thought this turn of business was worthwhile!” Long Feiye said coldly.

“Alright. This one shall definitely pass on the word!” Third Elder Qi politely bowed with hands clasped before he left with his own group. Although many of its members were still displeased, they could only submit in the face of his authority.

Once they were gone, Qi Yaotian was the first to speak up. “Third uncle, are we going to let Long Feiye off just like that? His martial arts skills is already so formidable. If he gains the strength of the City of Daughters, wouldn’t he suppress our Carefree City in the future?”

Their city had accepted Long Feiye’s employment for the chance to eliminate the City of Daughters, but all that happened was the end of the Leng Clan. The strength of the city still stood, and now it was in the hands of a powerful player like Long Feiye. It was as if Carefree City’s competitor had switched to being Long Feiye himself. Whether or not this deal was worth it, Carefree City had suffered a serious blow.

“Do you think you can snatch it from him?” Third Elder Qi challenged back.

Qi Yaotian opened and closed his mouth a few times, speechless.

“If you can’t beat them, then submit!” Third Elder Qi concluded, smoothing his beard with a stern face. Seeing this, none of the others dared to object any further.

Despite his willingness to admit defeat, Third Elder Qi was harboring an acute sense of danger in his heart. Even now, he still felt like he was dreaming--as if the match between Long Feiye and Lady Leng Yue was naught but an unbelievable fantasy. Although Lady Leng Yue ranked behind Carefree City’s city lord in terms of strength, their actual levels were on par with each other. But Long Feiye’s display of might today was clearly superior to the woman. He couldn’t help but wonder how Long Feiye might fare if he was against Carefree City’s city lord today?

If Long Feiye had the skills to swallow up the City of Daughters, then he could do the same to Carefree City as well! They couldn’t let down their guard! Despite having no retorts, Qi Yaotian had already decided to find his father for a talk when they returned. They had to find Long Feiye and Han Yunxi’s weak spot. When he recalled how she had destroyed his poison giant bats, then extorted him for a vast amount of silver, he kept thinking of payback.

With both the jianghu and Carefree City people gone, only Long Feiye’s group was left before the gates. Han Yunxi remained seated in her carriage while Long Feiye held the reins of his horse in one hand and his sword in the other. He looked like Han Yunxi’s most loyal guard as he took step after step towards the city gates.

The various clan heads blocking the entrance immediately made way. They observed the slow progress of the horse carriage, their eyes shining with increased respect towards Long Feiye and admiration for Han Yunxi. Compared to those “righteous heroes” from before, this husband and wife pair were the truly upright ones. Their bearing and manner were unrivaled.

Compared to the Leng Clan that they’d pledged undying loyalty to, they were more willing to devote themselves to the Duke of Qin and Qin Wangfei.

After entering the city, Long Feiye personally drove the carriage to the Leng Estate. Here was the heart of the city. Those in the family had either died or fled, leaving no one to surrender the house. Before the gates stood various factions from the City of Daughters, either clan heads or independent contract killers. Since they’d stayed behind, this meant that they were willing to pledge loyalty to new masters.
